Work to resurface a road in Burton town centre will begin next month.
This £208,000 highways scheme, delivered by Staffordshire County Council, will see crews resurface the route between the Burton Place car park entrance on Worthington Way to The Dial on Station Road.
Crews will additionally carry out repairs to ironworks, clear drains and paint on new road markings.
Work is scheduled to begin on Monday 11 May and is expected to take around three weeks to complete.
Resurfacing will take place overnight from Mondays to Thursdays (inclusive of Friday mornings) to minimise disruption as much as possible for residents and businesses in the area. The roads being worked on will, otherwise, remain open to all traffic during the daytime.
No overnight works will take place at the weekend or on bank holidays.
Businesses will remain open as usual and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the scheme.
Peter Mason, Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Strategic Highways, said:
“It’s great to see another key route in Burton being improved. This scheme will give Worthington Way a much-needed new surface, making journeys smoother and safer for everyone who uses it.
“We know roadworks can be disruptive, so we’ve carefully planned this alongside the Derby Road scheme, with most of the work taking place overnight to keep disruption to a minimum. Once complete, people will really notice the difference these repairs make.”
The work has been carefully coordinated with the Derby Road resurfacing scheme - beginning on the same day - with overnight working on Worthington Way to ensure closures are not in place at the same time.
Letters have gone out to all affected residents and businesses.
